What are the main factors affecting the filter speed of candle filters?

2021-05-08

Shanghai Jiuching shares with you what are the main factors affecting the filtration speed of candle filters? When we consider using candle filter to filter our materials, we need to prove whether our materials can meet our filtration requirements by using candle filter. One of our concerns is the filtration speed, so how to calculate the filtration speed of the candle filter?

Materials can be divided into those with high viscosity, those with low viscosity, those with high filtration accuracy and those with low filtration accuracy. The higher the viscosity of the material, the higher the filtration rate at the end of the same filtration area, and the higher the filtration rate at the end of the viscosity. The higher the filtration precision required for the same filtration area, the lower the filtration rate. Is it that simple? Of course not, there are many factors to be considered in the actual production. We can only do a rough calculation according to the specific viscosity and precision. To make the result more close to the actual production effect, we suggest to do the material experiment before purchasing.

The main factors affecting the filter speed of candle filters.

1. Candle filter material viscosity: viscosity is the main reason for the impact on the rate, after the material viscosity exceeds a certain value, it is not suitable for the candle filter filtration. The above mentioned the impact of viscosity on the rate, do not describe.

2. Candle filter filter area: increase the filter area is an important method to adjust the filtration rate, usually when customizing the candle filter, are considered the flow rate per unit filter area, calculate how much filter area is needed to meet the filtration requirements, and then to design the filter barrel, has been a variety of pipeline size.

3. Candle filter filtration accuracy: we say that low viscosity filtration speed. What will happen if the filtration precision requirement is high? The filtration precision requirement is high, and the filtration efficiency per unit area is of course low. And with the increase of time, the efficiency will be lower and lower, and then it is necessary to restart to start the workflow.

4. Candle filter working mode; working mode is also a reason that affects the filtration rate, candle filter working mode some need to be pre-coated, some need to get filter cake, some need to get clear night. The working mode (please see the specific working mode of automatic candle filter) is different, here is the pre-coating, pre-coating is generally required for the filtration of high precision and low viscosity materials need to be pre-coated. The filter cake formed on the filter cloth after precoating can effectively intercept the impurity particles and play a good filtering role. The thicker the precoating, the lower the filtration rate will be.

We believe that through the above sharing you have a certain understanding of the candle filter, please consult the official website for details.
